Shahinian Obelisk loudspeakers


Hi, my name is Arik and I'm about to buy the Shahinian Obelisk, those speakers were menufaturer in 1985.
The question is: is this old model worth the money(1,000$)
consider they are very old and maybee the updated loud speakers are sound much better???
Thanks, I'll appriciate your answer

I recall hearing these at one of the earliest HiFi Shows I ever attended back in the mid 1980s at the hotel across from MSG in NYC. I know the hotel name has now changed. Of all the speakers I heard that day, these impressed me the most. They were placed in a corner and simply were invisible. I have always wanted to try them in my room but rarely see them on the used market. And then to Hassel's point, they need to be checked and in many cases, refurbished. At $4400 and it seems, no where to audition them, I would be cautious.
